    Hi rinaibrhm ,

     

    According to your description, here are my steps you can follow as a solution.

    (1) This is my test data. 

    (2) We can create calculated columns.

    Orders_Previous_Period = COUNTROWS(FILTER('Sales','Sales'[Order_Date] in VALUES('Previous'[Date]) && 'Sales'[UserID]=EARLIER('Customer'[UserID])))
    Orders_Current_Period = COUNTROWS(FILTER('Sales','Sales'[Order_Date] in VALUES('Current'[Date]) && 'Sales'[UserID]=EARLIER('Customer'[UserID])))
    Top_Product = 
var _a=SUMMARIZE('Sales','Sales'[UserID],'Sales'[Product],"count",COUNT('Sales'[Product]))
var _b=MAXX(FILTER(_a,[UserID] = EARLIER('Customer'[UserID])),[count])
var _c=FILTER(_a,[count]=_b && [UserID]=EARLIER('Customer'[UserID]))
return CONCATENATEX(_c,[Product],"&")

    (3) Then the result is as follows.

     

    If the above one can't help you get the desired result, please provide some sample data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. Thank you.

     

    Best Regards,

Hi amitchandak  I am currently not using the built-in time intelligence and my current solution is using the 'Current' and 'Previous' tables to serve this purpose.

 

In my Sales table, I already am able to get the time intelligence calculations as below :-

 

Sales_Previous_Period = 
CALCULATE (
    SUM([Total Revenue]),
    ALL ( 'Current' ),
    USERELATIONSHIP ( 'Current'[Date], 'Previous'[Date] )
) * [Normalization Factor]

 

 

Sales_Current_Period = SUM([Total Revenue])

 

 

 

My issue now is to reference the Current and Previous Date selections in my 'Customer' table, since the only relationship it has is on Sales[User ID].
